Grip - Hands Up! lyrics

[Intro] My Lord, my Lord, uh Uh, yeah, uh [Verse 1] They shootin' ni**as down like it's '65 They shootin' ni**as down like it's '68 They shootin' ni**as down like the slave days, wait They shootin' ni**as down like the slave days I feel like Fred Hampton with a AK I feel like Fred Hampton with a AK ni**a, don't get trampled in this melee ni**a, don't get trampled in this melee [Pre-Hook] You wanna stay safe? You better bare a metal arm like a prosthetic Me, my ni**as hotboxin' in a box Chevy It's goin' down, I can see where hip hop's headed So put your hands up, like a cop said it [Hook] Hands up (Hands up) (I need to see ya motherfu*kin' hands in the air) Hands up (Hands up) (And wave 'em from side to side like you just don't care) Hands up (Hands up) (Cops still gon' shoot us) Keep your hands up (Keep your hands up) (Hands up like you just don't give a fu*k) [Verse 2] ni**as nursery-rhymin', Cat in the Hat wit' a bunch of cap in they raps Like they squeeze triggers, I'll smack the fu*k out these ni**as Some made a hit, most came and went, I didn't flinch I played the long game knowin', in the end, I'd be bigger I see ni**as, makin' they lil' lists But next to GRIP, they don't exist, they ain't built like this ni**as flexed up, quick to blow a check on a b*tch Better get a TEC to protect the Patek on your wrist And for that sh*t that's on your neck, ni**as will take a risk They tryna make a dollar stretch, your lame ass look like a lick And real ni**as ain't buyin' all that sh*t you kick But the kids eat it up, that's when the plot gets thick 'Cause see, a kid'll learn a song before they learn how to read So if it's nothin' in your lines, then how is they gon' succeed? I know you gotta play the game, you got a family to feed But if we shackle our own mental, then we'll never be freed I said my peace, I hope I ain't come off as preachy, but at least I utilized my reach to hug every ni**a out in these streets I do it for love, not credit And any beef, I pray that you and your ops dead it, but if not [Pre-Hook] You wanna stay safe? You better bare a metal arm like a prosthetic Me, my ni**as hotboxin' in a box Chevy It's goin' down, I can see where hip hop's headed So put your hands up, like a cop said it [Hook] Hands up (Hands up) (I need to see ya motherfu*kin' hands in the air) Hands up (Hands up) (And wave 'em from side to side like you just don't care) Hands up (Hands up) (Cops still gon' shoot us) Keep your hands up (Keep your hands up) (Hands up like you just don't give a fu*k)
